November's Newsworthy Classrooms
Senior Star Day
"Star Day was a great way to help me expect what I will be doing in my future!" - Mya Mosbaugh
"It was good to see college life in the truest form of still having to get up early." - Brandon Parsley
"STAR Day provided me the opportunity to job shadow my future major in Marketing. This was a great experience because I am even more enthusiastic about my future college major and career." -Meg Kinslow
"STAR Day was an amazing opportunity for me to not only get to help others, such as cancer patients, but allowed me to make my decision on a career as an Interventional Radiologist." - Kirsten Spall
Miss Martin's Class Takes a Virtual Trip to The Titanic Museum
"I chose to do the Titanic Skype Fieldtrip because I wanted to teach my students that life is meant to be explored and adventure can be found inside and outside of the classroom. To read a memoir from a survivor is one thing, but to have a reinactor pose as one of those survivors (Molly Brown) and show us around the Titanic - that's a completely different experience. We couldn't travel to the museum so we had it come to us!" - Miss Martin
"I absolutely loved how the woman talking to us was in costume and was pretending to be a real person who boarded the Titanic! I loved how we had like a quiz over some things that we learned, except it was a fun quiz in the form of a scavenger hunt! I thought it was an amazing idea to send us boarding passes and I went home and told and showed my family all about this and they were very interested!" - Ella Jones
"I really liked how all of the facts were told in an interesting form. I loved how the museum has so much detail, and I can't believe how entertaining it ACTUALLY was!" - Cloey Tyree
Mr. Harrison's Class Goes on a Google Expedition
"I enjoyed giving students an opportunity to visit places virtually with Google Expeditions that they may not otherwise get a chance to visit." - Mr. Harrison
"The Google Expeditions field trip was one of the closest things you can get to actually being at the location-- it felt like I actually went to the ancient seven wonders of the world. It was a breathtaking experience and very educational." - Natalie Jones
"The Google Expeditions were fantastic, I actually got to experience places around the world I never thought I would see." - Katie Baker
